“Y-you’re the Prince Regent’s son?!”
Luo Zhen and Madam Lan were shocked.
At this moment, Feng Yili spoke up, confirming the matter. “He’s indeed my son.”
Yu Yunxi also explained, “I gave birth to him when I was in Xinan. He was just reunited with his father recently.”
Luo Zhen and Madam Luo nodded in understanding. It seemed like the misunderstanding between Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi back then was quite deep, but fortunately, they seemed to have resolved it.
‘However, this matter is so important. Why didn’t Xiuran say anything?’
Luo Zhen turned around and glared at Luo Xiuran. Luo Xiuran scratched his head awkwardly.
‘You didn’t ask…’
At this moment, Luo Xiuran finally noticed Qian Qing’s presence from the corners of his eyes. His eyes lit up, and his mood seemed to change immediately.
Sensing the change in her son’s mood, Madam Lan turned around and saw Qian Qing getting out of the carriage. Her expression changed slightly.
‘She must be Second Miss Jian from back then… It seems like she’s changed a lot…’
Meanwhile, Luo Zhen saw Yu Yongnian and found the latter slightly familiar. He said, “This is…”
The little bun was very eager to make the introduction. He said, “Marquis Luo, he’s my uncle.”
‘Uncle?’
Realization finally dawned on Luo Zheng.
‘He must be the Third Young Master of the Yu family, General Yu…’
Luo Zhen said with a smile, “As it turns out, it’s General Yu. I didn’t recognize you earlier…”
“Yu Yongnian greets Marquis Luo,” Yu Yongnian said, hurrying forward to pay his respects.
“Young General Yu, there’s no need to be so polite. You’re an outstanding young talent of the imperial court. The Emperor often mentions you. If my son is half as capable as you, I’ll be extremely gratified,” Luo Zhen said, sighing at the end of his words.
‘Why did Father drag me into this?’
Luo Xiuran, who was standing at the side, was offended. In the end, he said,
“Father, we shouldn’t let our guests stand at the door like this.”
Luo Zhen hurriedly said, “I apologize. Please come in.”
Soon after they entered Marquis Luo’s Residence, Yu Yunxi saw Liu Xiaolan and the others.
“Don’t worry. Liu Xiaolan and Gao Shixuan are Yili’s guests so I won’t neglect them,” Luo Xiuran said. Then, he snuck a glance at Qian Qing before he said, “As for Sister Jian…”
Luo Xiuran did not say that Jian Xin was Qian Qing’s sister so he would naturally treat Jian Xin well.
In the end, Luo Xiuran only said, “I’ve already ordered the kitchen to prepare a meal. Please follow me.’
When they arrived at the dining hall, the servants began to serve the dishes.
At this moment, the little bun’s stomach suddenly growled loudly. He rubbed his stomach and smiled awkwardly as he said, “I’m sorry. My stomach was a little rude…’
Luo Zhen laughed, amused by the little bun. He went along with the little bun and said, “It won’t be rude anymore after you eat…”
Upon seeing this, Madam Lan glanced at Luo Xiuran and said in a low voice, “Your father really wants a grandchild. He even dreams about it. It’s no wonder he likes the little heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence…”
The corners of Luo Xiuran’s lips twitched. He naturally knew that his mother was urging him to get married and have children. He wanted that too, but… his wife did not want him. He sighed inwardly and averted his gaze, pretending he did not hear his mother.
Madam Lan gestured for everyone to sit down as she said, “Everyone, please take a seat.”
Qian Qing was now Yu Yunxi’s maidservant, after all. She consciously walked to the back and stood there.
However, upon seeing this, Madam Lan said, “Second Miss, no, it should be Miss Qian Qing now… Miss Qian Qing, there are so many seats. Come and sit with us…’
Qian Qing furrowed her eyebrows slightly when she heard Madam Lan’s words. She could not future out the latter’s intention. After all, she still remembered that the latter hated her a lot five years ago.
Even Luo Xiuran could not help but look at Madam Lan in surprise.
‘Why do I feel like Mother has changed?’
Yu Yunxi turned around and said to Qian Qing, “Qian Qing, since Madam Lan wants you to sit, you should sit.”
“Yes, County… Princess Consort,” Qian Qing said, lowering her gaze as she took a seat at the end.
Madam Lan then shifted her gaze to Gao Shixuan and asked kindly, “Miss Gao, right? Have you gotten used to staying in the residence?”
“Yes. Thank you for your hospitality, Madam,” Gao Shixuan replied in a docile manner.
Madam Lan smiled and nodded before she said, “I see that Miss Gao’s etiquette is quite good. You must have come from a good family. I wonder if you’re married yet?”
As soon as Madam Lan finished speaking, several people turned to look at Gao Shixuan in unison.
Luo Xiuran asked through gritted teeth, “Mother, what are you doing?” ‘Does Mother want Gao Shixuan to be her daughter-in-law?
Not wanting his mother to expose his heart, Luo Xiuran quickly served tea to his mother and interjected, “Mother, have some tea, have some tea…”
At this moment, Liu Xiaolan hurriedly said, “I understand Madam Lan’s good intentions, but Little Junior Sister has already agreed to marry me.”
Liu Xiaolan sounded very anxious. It was as though he was afraid that if he did not speak up soon, Madam Lan would really introduce a man to Gao Shixuan.
Gao Shixuan chimed in, “That’s right, Madam Lan. Thank you for your kindness, but Second Senior Brother and I have already agreed to get married.” “I see. So that’s how it is. I was muddle-headed,” Madam Lan said with a sigh.
After that, everyone stopped chatting and ate quietly.
When they finished eating, Luo Zhen looked at Feng Yili and said seriously, “To be honest, I invited you today not only to catch up, but also to discuss important matters of the imperial court with you.”
‘Important matters?’
Feng Yili’s eyes flashed upon hearing this. He said, “Please speak, Marquis Luo.”
“Can we talk in the study?” Luo Zheng asked solemnly. It seemed like the matter he wanted to discuss was not simple.
“Of course.” Feng Yili nodded.
Luo Zhen turned to Yu Yongnian and said, “General Yu, if you don’t mind, you can join us.”
Yu Yongnian nodded and quickly stood up.
Luo Zheng glanced at Luo Xiuran and said sternly, “Xiuran, follow me.”
“Okay, okay.”
Luo Xiuran stood up and was forced to follow his father.
Soon, only the women, the little bun, and Liu Xiaolan were left.
Then, Madam Lan suddenly said to Yu Yunxi, “Princess Regent, I would like to borrow someone from you…”
